“Knight has an expanding array of electronic access and trading products and services available,” said Steve Sadoff, Senior Managing Director and Chief Information Officer, Knight Capital Group. “As we have grown the electronic side of our business and expanded our client base, the demand for colocation services has increased. Equinix's state-of-the-art New York area data center and wide array of global, regional and metro network providers significantly strengthen the connectivity choices available for our clients. Furthermore, Equinix's proven dependability and service will help Knight maintain its reputation for speed, dependability and consistent high-quality trade executions.”

“Our network-rich IBX centers ideally complement Knight's existing data center operations, and colocation in our New York area center will give their customers a high-performance connectivity platform with high speed, low latency connectivity and proximity to their core trading platforms,” said Steve Smith, president and CEO of Equinix. “We've invested significantly to make sure our IBX centers set the industry performance standard, so we're delighted when a leading financial services firm such as Knight selects Equinix for their colocation and proximity needs.”

Located near Equinix's existing NY2 center in Secaucus, NJ, the new NY4 center was opened in Q4 2007 after a multi-million dollar investment by Equinix in financial-grade quality and redundancy, as well as industry leading security, environmental control and power availability. The center is Equinix's largest in the U.S. to date at 340,000 square feet - the size of five football fields.
